Would people actually buy a nice box of Haiku R1?

Forum thread started by Kevin Ar18 on Sun, 2010-05-16 02:04

It has been suggested on the mailing list the possibility of having boxes made for Haiku R1 (paid for via pre-sales, so there's no upfront cost).

I'm curious as to whether any thinks people would actually buy boxes of a free os that can just be downloaded, copied on CDs, etc....

The concept was to have some very nicely designed boxes with Haiku CD, manual, and maybe even a collectible object.

I would definitly buy it. Though admittedly, I would be happier with Haiku on USB in the box.

Just a CD box? Well, I might. What would excite me more though would be if a group of people built computers specifically for Haiku and sold them with Haiku pre-installed. As it is today, it's almost impossible to buy a complete computer with decent specs (Not in parts) without it coming with Windows.
